Ender 5 Plus - Mercury One core XY conversion
Most Vorons and other printers using printed parts are built using ABS, and I know Nero3d on YouTube has built several using Sparta3d's sparkle ABS+ with no issues. As for fast speeds, I'm not planning on chasing speed. Speed is generally the enemy of quality. Everyone and their mother is...- Bartacus

Ender 5 Plus - Mercury One core XY conversion
Got a little more done today, but nothing overly dramatic. Got my little Ender 3 working double overtime pumping out ABS+ parts. Printed a lot of parts for DIN rail mounting: I cut a pair of 512mm DIN rail lengths (bought 10 x 1 metre rails), and fit the printed mounts onto those: The...- Bartacus

Ender 5 Plus - Mercury One core XY conversion
That last post was supposed to go up yesterday, guess I forgot to actually hit POST. Too many tabs / drinks, D'OH!! Anyhoo, did some more updating on the big boy today, and he got even bigger. First step was to remove the purple PETG right angle braces I was using, and replace those with...- Bartacus

Ender 5 Plus - Mercury One core XY conversion
Since I'm blowing the dust off old builds now that the GF is out of town, I'm back doing work on this one too. Plans are still fluid on this one. I was going to do a triple Z setup, but I'm still not 100% sure I want to. Before the core XY conversion, this printed was CLOCKED in certain ways...- Bartacus

Work in progress Project "I'm sick of shoehorning things in a Cerberus-X and I'm moving to a MORA3 rebuild".
Damn man, I just read this entire thread over a coffee, great stuff Xeven! Love the 3d printed parts especially! What printer(s) you running?- Bartacus

Voron Switchwire Build - LDO Motors kit
FYI, this project lives again. It was gathering dust, since I decided to move my GF into my place, and apparently women come with loads of stuff, so my stuff got put on the back burner. Good thing she's worth it. banana Now that she had to fly out of province to look after her Mom (knee...- Bartacus

Rants etc.....
Well yesterday was a lovely day. My GF was browsing printables.com on my 2nd-gen Threadripper rig, when we hear a POOF, and she sees smoke coming from the motherboard, beneath the GPU. System is dead dead, no more post code display, only the RAM lights up now. Worst part is this motherboard... -
Ender 5 Plus - Mercury One core XY conversion
Thanks bud, I printed all the parts in ABS+ from Sparta3d.ca on my lightly modded Ender 3 V2 in a Creality bag enclosure. That little thing was a piece of crap out of the box, but after the mods and a motherboard replacement from Creality, it's very reliable.- Bartacus

Ender 5 Plus - Mercury One core XY conversion
I know there are newer smaller stepper towers, but I have no idea what the differences are, other than the newer ones are smaller in size. I kinda shelved both my builds after coming down with some health issues, but it looks like the old towers will work fine with EVA.- Bartacus

3D Printer / CNC discussion thread
Yup I just watched that, Simon is a serious maniac. His pursuit of raw speed is incredibly impressive. Now just imagine that speed on a printer that WASN'T bolted to the studs of your house. :cool:- Bartacus

Voron Switchwire Build - LDO Motors kit
Forgot the LDO kit had mentioned an extra part I had printed long ago and promptly forgot about, a printed wheel for the keyback idler. Fixed!- Bartacus

Voron Switchwire Build - LDO Motors kit
Progress has been made, albeit slowly, because life keeps getting in the way and I'm not the fastest guy. LDO rails were greased: Electronics were set up for mounting: This toolhead breakout PCB is kinda sexy: X/Z motor mounts (changed since this pic, they got rotated 90 degrees): All...- Bartacus

Ender 5 Plus - Mercury One core XY conversion
Figured I'd create another thread, since I'm also working on this printer too, LOL! My Ender 5 Plus (aka Bartie-5) is getting a core XY conversion. The spec / build I'm following is called Mercury One. I had already converted the entire printer to linear rails, via 5 x 450mm MGN12H rails...- Bartacus

Voron Switchwire Build - LDO Motors kit
Kit comes with one, but I do also have a pair of Canaduino ADXL345s. As for Klipper, I *will* be running that, but have no experience at all. Another learning curve but I'm looking forward to it. EDIT: to add to this point, and just in case anyone else is considering the kit, here's a few...- Bartacus

Voron Switchwire Build - LDO Motors kit
The LDO kit came with some good rubber feet to replace the TPU-printed feet that the original plan calls for. I do have a 0.5kg roll of TPU, but I haven't printed anything with it yet, still a TPU virgin.- Bartacus

Voron Switchwire Build - LDO Motors kit
While waiting for parts to print, I started work on the frame. I hit up a local granite place to buy some granite offcuts, and I ended up getting two huge slabs for free. I just had to get incredibly dirty bringing them home and cleaning them up. One of them was just big enough to put on my...- Bartacus

Voron Switchwire Build - LDO Motors kit
Well I think it's safe to say that this color combination is just about as perfect as it gets. Yeah it threatens my manhood a little, but that's fine, LOL! I didn't even have to shave the parts, they just slid right in like butter, saints be praised! This lavender sparkle filament is...- Bartacus

Voron Switchwire Build - LDO Motors kit
I did confirm that the LDO kit comes with the panels for the enclosure, half clear and half black acrylic panels. It also comes with a TERRIFIC piece of paper that lists every box, and everything that comes with the kit, so doing a quick inventory to check for missing pieces took all of 10...- Bartacus
